Silly tank melds

[Velthice]

This is the only trinity based MMO I have seen where tanks are expected to out DPS the DPS, and healers are expected to do any DPS at all...

The thing is though, that\\'s how the game is designed. In other mmos tanks typically can\\'t come anywhere close to touching even terrible dps and healers even less so.

But in this game the dynamic is different. Tanks and healers can put out very respectable numbers, around 60-80% that of a full fledged dps. Barring some incredible rework, and I\\'m not talking about locking str accessories, I mean a complete from the ground up rework of the game and how encounters work, that\\'s always going to be the case, tanks and healers are always going to have very potent damage. To disregard that, or worse, to actively rally against this fact because "that\\'s not how it works in other mmos" is just an incredible degree of stubbornness and well, kinda silly.

Edit: I removed the last paragraph that was here, it was rude. My point is though that ffxiv is not other mmos. The tank and healer role function differently here than what others are traditionally used to.
